In that situation I would be afraid to marry the shaikh as a sheikha... cause the shaikha would be in a bad situation but also his lover... a difficult situation. Don't you think his lover does know about this situation? A

There is nothing saying that the first wife has to be a Sheikha or from the Al Maktoum family. In general, they do marry from the family so it is quite obvious in many cases the wife will be from the family.

What IF everything that we're thinking that should happen due to him being a Future Ruler happens the opposite?? Has anyone thought of that yet? What IF he decides NOT to marry a sheikha? What IF he marries just the girl he loves? OR could be the opposite what IF he decides to marry only a sheikha since its family and he wants to stay in the Family? Or a Sheikha from a prominent family like Nahyans? What IF...What IF...U know we're living in a crazy world today and I believe that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN LADIES!!! That's my theory! :)

That is against Islam, courts will not allow it. All wives get equal amount, so do the sons and daughters whether they are from one wife or different wives.

What sounds in theory so logical is in fact not to do ... (just my opinion)...

But is that really possible? A non-sheikha becomes the next first lady? I could imagine she got a high position but the highest one? hmmm... Otherwise princess haya (sheikh mo's wife) is not a sheikha but became the title of the first lady of dubai (official or inofficial) but she is at least a royal...

I remember also Sheikh Maktoum (Sheikh Mohd brother) was married to Sheikha Boushra & she had a high position in Dubai even if She wasnt a Sheikha nor a Princess but She died in a mysterious circumstances i guess Hmmm & Of course his first wife was from AL Maktoum
So its all about Family I think if they Let him marry who he wants be sure he won't marry a cousin Otherwise he will do like his father , uncle ... Wait&See

i always have a hard time understanding your msgs but please dont mix culture, tradition and islam together
just because sh.Mohammed married more than 1 wife does not mean all his kids would
my grand father had 24 kids from 6 women (not all were his wives at the same time / but three were with him when he died) non of my unciles married more than 1 wife (this is from my moms side and are from the royal family)
you look at things in a different view please when you try to paint a picture of other cultures try to remember that you wont see the same colors as ppl who live there do...
and when you say "arab contries" you know that alot of arab men and countries dnt marry than one wife...
oh ya and do you know that 60% of men (all over the world) cheat on thier wives so remember men are men all over the world
